History
The Chollar Mansion was designed by N. J. Coleman for William "Billy" Chollar, and was built when Virginia City was the Comstock Lode mining boom town in the 1860s. It was moved about .25 miles (0.40 km) in 1870 due to mining needs.
In 1993, the NRHP registration noted that the house had been turned into a bed and breakfast inn.
